Do you miss the days of text-based gaming?  What about serious police adventures?  Gaming might have come a long way but many still hold such older titles near and dear.  GOG understands that and has been working on bringing more titles from Activision's massive catalog to the digital distribution service.  Today marks the release of two different packs on GOG.

The Zork Anthology ($5.99)
  • Zork I
  • Zork II
  • Zork III
  • Beyond Zork
  • Zork Zero
  • Planetfall
The Police Quest Pack ($9.99)
  • Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel
  • Police Quest 2: The Vengeance
  • Police Quest 3: The Kindred
  • Police Quest: Open Season
I have never played Zork but I feel a strange compulsion to do so.  It has something to do with understanding part of my gaming heritage.  Plus, it's less than 9MB to download all 6 games in the series.  Nice!  As always, these come with extra goodies, are DRM-free, and work on XP and Vista.
